Castle Paradox

Yeah, I was wondering if it's possible to stick a status condition on a piece of equipment, like armor.
For example, Cursed armor with high stat bonuses, but it poisons.
Or Regen Armor that lowers stats, but grants Regen.

Thanks!

There is no direct way to do this, but I can think of a long-winded way to make it happen. Tags.

Any piece of equipment can be assigned an "is equipped" tag.
Using your own battle triggers (plotscripts with NPCs) instead of the usual Foemap, you can make the player fight different enemy formations depending on what equipment tags are on.

The formations themselves can give the illusion of assigning a status condition to the hero with the odd armor. Make an invisible enemy that will inflict a status condition immediately, then kill itself.
This works best if you're only using ONE hero.

When there's more heroes, though, Targeting becomes an issue, as Tags don't factor in targeting. The only way around this I can think of is to make the odd equipment assign a very high value to the un-used CTR stat, then set the status attack target to Enemy, Focused, Prefer Strongest Target, and make the Weak/Strong stat CTR.

If you understand all that, then good luck, this is an interesting idea I'd like to see.

Huh, I just might have to try that. Thanks!
